    Excellent skiing looks like 32,32,35,38, 4@39 (or 4 and a quarter)
  2. Stathis Ventouris
    I installed again a washer with the CG as the fin was deeper on my onside than the offside in order to correct that (GOODE NANO XTM).
  3. Stathis Ventouris
    @AdamCord my experience so far with the CG Fin is that is very sensitive to wing angle and I ended up at 5 degrees (suggested standard wing angle 8 +/- 0,5). Everything else is the same as standard fin settings with the exception of fwdbk which is set 0,005 back from standard (0,718 from 0,723and the ski works fine ( ski GOODE XTM).

    @skialex excellent job it is working nicely!
  5. Stathis Ventouris
    @AdamCord ski feels much better with recommended adjustments (shorter forward deeper) tips still slightly grabs on the offside (wing at 6 degrees compared to 8,5 for standard fin). Would welcome also a bit more cross course speed (although not bad). Ant suggestions? Thanks a lot for the help so far

    @gavski it is quite noticeable that Ivan Moros is pressing/pushing with his legs when he meets with the boat at the white wash before the first wake.

    JB and TW were advocates of West Coast Slalom technique so both skies with a compressed style but most of the ballers (that are amateurs and senior skiers) skiing with a taller stance it is much easier on their body.

    @AdamCord thanks for the advise, 6,818, 2,496, 0,715 new settings. Hope to have some good water today and try it.

    @adamcord I ski with a Goode XTM settings tried are 6,824, 2,491and 0,708 compared to last standard fin settings 6;823, 2,487 and 0,723. The ski felt that it was grabbing the tip at the finish of offside and onside was a bit aggressive despite that the fwbk setting was back. Shall I make it a bit shorter ie 6,820 move the front binding 1/8 back or do you have another recommendation ?
  10. Stathis Ventouris
    @AdamCord Thanks again, will post update after trying.
  11. Stathis Ventouris
    @AdamCord Thanks a lot for the recommendation. I have installed a washer so that the Depth on my "onside" is 2,461, shall I keep it or remove it?
  12. Stathis Ventouris
    @AdamCord and/or @adamhcaldwell I finally got my CG fin yesterday and I am looking forward to try it next weekend. I am on a GOODE XTM current settings L: 6,821 D: 2,487 DFT: 0,748 silver wing 8 deg ( everything close to factory with the exception of DFT) Question 1: Does anybody else have tried the CG on an XTM and has settings that worked well ? Otherwise please provide recommendations. Question 2: Do you recommend to try it with the mini wing (Schnitz's) and drill one hole in order to fit or use the small GOODE wing and at which angle in each case.

    72 last weekend in Ververoda Lake, Porto Heli Greece
  14. Stathis Ventouris
    Porto Heli Kevin, congratulations!!!

    I have skied most of the off season on an SP trying different settings and was very pleased by the feel and the performance. The finishing and quality of the materials is really good and reminds me of Fisher skis.

    Awesome video and coaching advise on how to achieve handle control
  17. Stathis Ventouris
    Run for the first time 4,5@35 off at a tournament last weekend.
  18. Stathis Ventouris
    Five to four years ago I had the same problem (every Monday I was limping after 4 sets during the weekend), in the last 3 years I got completely rid of it by doing a combination of things: a) replaced the back boot with an R style, b) used heel gel pads with my dress shoes (all the time) and attached one inside the R-style and a second one in the liner (under an insole), c) a lot of stretching (every day) and d) some strengthening exercises.

    Totally agree that skiers deserve better conditions but in the end they need to adapt to the weather and site conditions and do their best to win. Conditions were bad,however Nate (as he stated) missed the handle in the final and Manon's fall, to me, it looked like a pre-release of the binding (I have seen it happening many times - I am using the same binding system for the last 5 years and fortunately had never experienced a pre-release)

    Freddie's ankle is still in a cast. He delivers excellent coaching clinics though.
  21. Stathis Ventouris
    at the Bennett's Freddie ran 41of on all 3 rounds!
  22. Stathis Ventouris
    I will put my money on Freddie Winter
  23. Stathis Ventouris
    @skialex I will follow your advice...
  24. Stathis Ventouris
    @AdamCord thanks, will try the coming weekend and report back.
  25. Stathis Ventouris
    @AdamCord I am a RFF and my fin is deeper by 35thous. on the left side. If use a washer under the middle screw of the fin box at the left side of the ski as recommended for RFF skiers, both sides will probably get even. Therefore should I use a thicker washer?
